Technology for Teaching and Learning at WCSU

We would like to invite all academic and administrative faculty
along with university administrators who are interested in creating an ongoing conversation about the pedagogy, instructional design
and strategy, research, policy and decision-making as it applies to online learning and teaching at WCSU. Participants will be
encouraged to participate in a round-table discussion on these and other topics related to educational technology and cyberspace.

Issues to discuss

Centralization vs. decentralization on campuses and within the WCSU and CSU systems

Role of Academics in Academic Computing, Instructors in Instructional Technology

Process of decision-making on hardware and software purchases and maintenance

Wiki

discover, describe, and possibly craft a positon in regard to the important issues involved with teaching and learning with technology;

provide a method for all members of the CSU community to contribute equally.

The wiki currently exists as an outline. Please help flesh out this outline by contributing a description of the topic, what the possible points of view about the topic might be, and a defense or argument for a particular point of view. Stick to the outline if you can but feel free to enter new topics. The objective is to come up with a coherent description, explanation, and position relevant to each topic. You are free to comment on pages but discussions about topics should be carried out on the blog .

The wiki is wide open. Anyone can add a page, anyone can edit a page, anyone can add a comment. It is suggested that author entries be initialed but it very likely in the final version of the document all attribution will be removed. Try and be sensitive in you edits.

Blog

It is imagined that this space will be used for the discussion concerning areas where consensus needs to be built before a clear
and coherent statement about an issue can be entered into the wiki. This area can also be used to float ideas, post relevant links, make announcements,
share news or other information useful to the group.

Entries in the blog can be signed and are not editable after being posted. Entries can be responded to. Both areas provide RSS feeds to make
keeping up easier (if that ever should be come a problem.).
